Sammy Davis Jr. was a huge Western fan. Sammy guested on “Lawman” with John Russell and Peter Brown in the “Blue Boss and Willie Shay” episode in ‘61.

For a rough B-Western heavy, in his off-screen hours Ed Cobb was certainly duded up in his Plus Fours (breeches or trousers) and pipe. Looks like he was walking the cat. Photo from sometime in the ‘30s. (Thanx to John Bickler.)

In late 1936 B-Western actress Kay Hughes and film cameraman Durward Graybill eloped to Ensenada, Mexico, but returned to L.A. for their nuptuals because an Ensenada magistrate wasn’t to be found on their arrival. He’d apparently gone to view developments in a local maritime strike. 1936 was the year Kay co-starred in “The Vigilantes Are Coming” serial with Bob Livingston as well as “The Three Mesquiteers” and “Ghost Town Gold” with the Three Mesquiteers and “Ride, Ranger, Ride” and “The Big Show” with Gene Autry.
